Abstract
Wi-Fi has been widely accepted in today’s generation since it provides
liberty to gain access to the network without being physically bonded. Some
institutions believe this results in an increase in service and productivity, while
reducing the cost of physical wiring; as users bring their devices such as laptops and
tablets. With embracing the benefits of Wi-Fi, potential cyber threats can arise
through this usage. This paper discusses the greater concern on security issues
arising and assessment while embracing the benefits of Wi-Fi. Existing literature was
used to evaluate the vulnerability assessment mechanisms available and propose
recommendations that educational environments can further adopt, in addition to
existing measures to better protect its users.
